Public bug reported: Binary package hint: plymouth
The visible symptoms are that I never get a graphical splash when booting, or shutting down. In addition to this, these log messages appear: /var/log/syslog.1:Apr 24 09:29:05 larsivi-i7 kernel: [ 5.052081] Out of memory: kill process 493 (plymouthd) score 38 or a child /var/log/syslog.1:Apr 24 09:29:05 larsivi-i7 kernel: [ 5.052083] Killed process 493 (plymouthd) /var/log/syslog.1:Apr 24 09:29:08 larsivi-i7 init: plymouth-splash main process (1014) terminated with status 1 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: plymouth 0.8.2-2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-21.32-generic 2.6.32.11+drm33.2 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-21-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx Architecture: i386 Date: Sun Apr 25 12:43:01 2010 DefaultPlymouth: Error: command ['readlink', '/etc/alternatives/default.plymouth'] failed with exit code 1: InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Release i386 (20091028.5) MachineType: Dell Inc.
